SA Hip Hop Reactions To #ZumaExit x #PresidentialElection

Hip hop is arguably one of the most vocal genres in music. In its essence, it's an art form of expression and social commentary. Naturally, over the years the content approach has changed immensely but it does not take away from the fact that we speak our minds on everything. Check out what some of your faves are thinking about our former president, Jacob Zuma's, exit as well as the newly sworn in president of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa.

Sad to see him go. Eish ???? But happy that we have shown the world once again that we live in a country where no man or woman is bigger than the movement.

As South Africans, be proud that we have leaders who don't cling to power. That we truly live in a constitutional democracy where people can be held accountable. Not bad for one of those "shithole countries" ... They can't even do this in America right now. Imagine.
